The United States was founded on the principles of democracy, with power vested in the people. However, the lack of term limits for justices and members of Congress has created a system susceptible to corruption and abuse of power. This petition calls for a change in this system by demanding term limits for all justices and congress members.

The potential for corruption is an ongoing issue that threatens our democratic values. According to Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2020, the U.S ranks 25th out of 180 countries - a position that has been steadily declining over recent years (Transparency International). This indicates an urgent need to address systemic issues contributing to this decline.

Furthermore, lifetime appointments can lead to stagnation and lack of fresh perspectives in our justice system and legislative body. A study from Harvard Law School suggests that limiting terms could increase accountability while reducing partisan politics (Harvard Law School).

No one should be above the laws of this land - not even those who make or interpret them. It's time we take back our power as American citizens by demanding term limits for all justices in the United States Supreme Court and members of Congress.
